Elizabeth A. Hirshorn; Emma Reilly; Alison Louche-Robert; Cody Wojszysnki – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: Recent research has documented individual differences in the reading profiles of skilled native English readers using a behavioural marker of holistic visual word processing (orientation sensitivity). A more holistic word reading profile is associated with a weaker correlation with phonological decoding for word identification.…

Olivia Ward; Deanna C. Friesen – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2025
The current study examined whether children with and without ADHD differed in text processing when contradictory information was present. Forty-seven children between 10 and 14 years old performed a self-paced reading task. Half the passages contained contradictory information. Additionally, language and cognitive skills were assessed to examine…

Vasylets, Olena; Mellado, M. Dolores; Plonsky, Luke – Studies in Second Language Learning and Teaching, 2022
It is unknown whether and to what extent cognitive individual differences may play different roles in paper versus computer-based second language (L2) writing. This exploratory study is a first attempt to explore this issue, focusing on the effects of working memory and language aptitude on the quality of paper versus computer-based L2 writing…

Joseph P. Magliano; Lauren Flynn; Daniel P. Feller; Kathryn S. McCarthy; Danielle S. McNamara; Laura Allen – Grantee Submission, 2022
The goal of this study was to assess the relationships between computational approaches to analyzing constructed responses made during reading and individual differences in the foundational skills of reading in college readers. We also explored if these relationships were consistent across texts and samples collected at different institutions and…

Baaijen, Veerle M.; Galbraith, David – Cognition and Instruction, 2018
This study compares a problem-solving account of discovery through writing, which attributes discovery to strategic rhetorical planning and assumes discovery is associated with better quality text, to a dual-process account, which attributes discovery to the combined effect of 2 conflicting processes with opposing relationships to text quality.…

Sanjose, Vicente; Vidal-Abarca, Eduardo; Padilla, Olga M. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2006
This article proposes an extension to Kintsch's Construction-Integration (CI) model of text comprehension, which changes its mathematical implementation and emphasizes the connectionist features of the model. Specifically, the extension proposed here (a) simulates the learning process in a connectionist manner by making explicit changes in the…
